John Isner: Yoga Champion

You've probably heard at least something about the record breaking three-day tennis match between the United States' John Isner and France's Nicolas Mahut, but you may not have heard about the interview with Isner where he clearly qualifies himself as a yogi--immersed in willful intention without concern for results.

"Especially once the match got past, you know, 25-all, I wasn't really thinking," said Isner. "Hitting a serve and trying to hit a forehand winner is the only thing I was doing."

When it did conclude, Isner dropped down to the court, rolled on his back and kicked his legs in the air--sounds like Ananda Balasana (Happy Baby Pose) to us.

And we aren't the only ones feeling inspired by Isner's presence; Matt Harvey has put out all call for people to tweet tennis inspired haikus to his account @wimbledonpoet.
